Welcome to your hub for all things Lynx Learning Communities or LLCs! Our Lynx Learning Communities are designed to enrich first year students' academic and social experiences.

Along with the residential component of the program, students participate in a course related to the program, fostering a deeper connection with their peers and the subject matter, and helping ease the transition into college life.
